  • Myth: You can target fat loss to certain parts of your body. My SIL thinks dumbbells will cure her flabby arms. Sorry no. Working out your arms or your abs won't make the fat on them shrink faster. It's genetic and your body will decide whether to shrink the fat on your arms first or somewhere else. Working out your arms…

  • Basically it's something you put in your coffee to make it "creamy" but it's not cream or milk, it's usually a non-dairy product. The liquid looks like cream and is refrigerated. It can also be powdered. Comes in all kinds of flavors. Vanilla, Hazelnut, etc.…

  • Just keep doing what you're doing, or check out the Higdon beginner plan as others suggested. You're well on your way. And none of this not showing up for the race business ;) Even if you have to walk part of the race don't sweat it, you'll be far from the only one, some people will walk the whole thing. Big mistake people…

  • Diet soda is what got me off it. Good news is I totally lost my taste for regular pop. Now it tastes so over-sweet to me it has no appeal. Diet pop isn't the greatest thing in the world for you either but I only drink 4 or 5 per week.

  • I don't drink many calories but MAN I love a nice cup of coffee with some creamer in it :'( Can't drink it black, and I've tried. Need to find a lower cal creamer, though.

  • As a guy who did this a few years ago (and now loves running), and has a "coached" a few friends and family members through it, here are my top 5 pieces of advice: 1. Run SLOW. 2. Get fitted for real running shoes at a running store. Will be expensive but worth it. 3. No, slower than that. 4. Don't try to run fast or shoot…

  • It might create a bigger deficit, but maybe not depending on how many calories you eat. It's pretty easy to out-eat your exercise if you're not carefully tracking. Well, if you're literally doing 5 hours a day you could eat a LOT, but few people are. :) It wouldn't take that much to cancel out the 600 calories I burned on…
